[edit] Route description

Beginning in downtown Bingen at SR 14, SR 141 travels up a long grade to White Salmon. After passing through the downtown, SR 141 travels through rural White Salmon, intersecting with SR 141 Spur and continues northward to BZ Corner, and ends at Trout Lake.

A 2.16-mile (3.48 km) spur route connects SR 141 to SR 14 in Underwood.

[edit] History

Between 1964 and 1967, SR 121 ran throughout the route that SR 141 travels today. In 1967, what had been SR 12 was renumbered SR 14, and SR 121 was renumbered to reflect that. During that time, SR 141 ran from Riffle (near Mossyrock) to SR 7 in Morton. It became part of a realigned U.S. Route 12 in 1967.

Prior to the 1964 renumbering, current State Route 141 was designated Secondary State Highway 8-D. It was added to the state highway system in 1937. SR 141 Spur was added to the state highway system in 1951, also as part as SSH 8-D.
